The new 20 year old Member for Longman was the main attraction yesterday as he wandered the halls of Parliament House. He is one of several new Liberal National Party faces who took nine seats off Labor. He said he couldn't wait to move into his office, hire staff, and get cracking on his maiden speech. I'll be interested to hear it.
"I've sort of started it over the last couple of days and getting some ideas for what's in it, so any advice, I'd love some advice" he said. Tony Abbott thanked everyone for doing a great job in getting elected and singled out "first indigenous MP, Member for Hasluck, Ken Wyatt.
But Wyatt Robb stole the show. Scary old men with death stares were all smiles as they welcomed the lad into the fold. At the end of the day, they all headed for home but they'll be back when Parliament resumes on 28th September which is bang in the middle of the school holidays.
Will this young man get eaten alive in the bear pit? Only time will tell.
